Hi averyone,
I'm a brazilian ancient amos user, AMOS FACTORY just brings good memories from a long gone coders club.
Good to know it is back alive and kicking.
I wasn't really an active guy in the community long ago, never participated on the group-games-development but I exchanged info with a few users, particularly on the gfx side.
For me, I made two games in amos that could be considered OK, though they are not complete, they are quite playable, see if you came around any:
FIGHT - was on aminet, I believe it still is. It is a fighting game on the likes of KOF, pretty interesting, specially the way around one button to play it. The real name was X-FIGHT and it contained some 6 characteres. I guess 3 of them are kind of complete, the rest is a working in progress. I also had a final version with a cool AI single player and some extra obscure secret moves but I guess this version never saw the public and I believe I lost the code. One thing here, I can't seem to run the game on UAE, it locks for some reason, maybe my code was such a mess even the emu can't handle it?
BATRAQUIOS ME MORDAM - This one I believe I never released. It is a frog fly clone, was on AMOS FACTORY long ago. It is a FROG's FLY kind of clone, where you go around with tinny frogs eating flyes and avoiding hazzards. It was supposed to have 4 players/single machine but I have had implemented 2 players only. All 36 levels are there with 2 bosses. The game is complete but it dosen't have intros and the likes. This one I still have here, and the code too, as I rescued my old A4000 HD, installed on the PC and made an image of it to run on the emu. This I would like to release, as I'm sure you all may have a blast with it.
That's it for me, I'm still interested on coding, and looking foward to DARK BASIC whenever I get time to anything.
It was good to be here again. thanks

Hello erico and welcome on Amos Factory!
Unfortunetly i didn't see your FIGHT game but can you explain what is KOF ? ???
-
Thats the King of fighters deries from the neogeo, fighting games. In fact it is more like year Kung FU meets street fighter in a single button hehe, it is there on aminet, under game 2play the file is fight.lha
it is a bit hard to run though.

erico,
Welcome to this site. I just downloaded your game (Fight) and will play it tomorrow. I will also (with your permission) add it to the games listed on www.amigacoding.com (not my site).
In regards to BATRAQUIOS ME MORDAM, I would like a copy please. I need it to help complete an archive of the old Amos Factory site from around 2000. Plus, I would love to play it and see what it's like.
Regards,

Ok, the FIGHT.lha at aminet has old email and contact info. Also, the instructions sucks.
I finaly got FIGHT to run on the last version of WIN UAE.
You may have some trouble running it. Since it is not a final version.
I will get both FIGHT and BATRAQUIOS ME MORDAM together with proper instructions
and will send it here.
It is ok to post anywhere you may, I just would want to update some info so
there could be a chance some one that plays it gets in contact.
Now on running FIGHT, copy it to a folder on your HD
assign FIGHT: to it
run FIGHT
On my system it goes like this:
assign FIGHT: BOOT:fight
I believe you could name a disk FIGHT and copy the folder contents to it.
But it is bigger than the normal disk size.
thanks

I got Fight to run from my harddrive (under WinUAE emulation) :)
Only 3 characters playable, and 4 levels. Unfortunately the 2nd opponent is only computer controlled when you select the same 1P and 2P players, even in 1P mode!!!
I love the fact it is cartoony and not trying to be realistic fighter like so many other Street Fighter/King Of Fighter clones. There are some other cool AMOS fighting games I have listed on www.amigacoding.com (including Fight which I just added a few minutes ago).

Wow, I didn't know that are so many amos games... good site Lonewolf!

Thanks, but I don't own the site.
I am simply helping create and update it (as requested by the site owner).
Edit: BTW, theres atleast 400 games and software created in AMOS. I just haven't had the time to add them all yet.
